Great tips as I’m getting ready to do a large slab glue-up.

Referencing the ad at the end regarding the CRB7. I love that jig. I use it all the time. I lost the little pin to make circles as it is attached magnetically to the jig. I called up the company and they replaced it at no charge. Great customer service. No personal gain here, its just a great tool I can recommend.

I need to make an island countertop from butternut planks. After they are glued up, do you plane them again?

[Matthew-evcv]

With it being single boards how long can over hang be? Any recommendations for support brackets for a peninsula?

James,
I have a question related to this. I’m going to build a round tabletop that will be glued to the existing top. I’m planning to use 6” or 8” boards to create the top. I’m thinking of cutting tongue and grooves to connect them. What are your thoughts on this method? Thanks!

Great video, very informative!! What brand clamps were those being used to glue up the boards?

Is there a good slow curing glue that will give me lots of work time in a warm/hot environment? I find that even Titebond starts to set up too quickly when Im working in my 90F shop.

Your intro bothers me because the hub of the saw goes into the wood in an impossible way.

Also don't forget to look down the piece for twist, it's easy to miss

If I don't have a joiner or a planer, is it sufficient for me to buy my boards S4S?

Great video. Love the channel. Keep it up

Hey James, some really good tips and instructions there. Thanks for sharing.

Hey awesome video thanks for the info, I’m subscribing! What is the max width of boards you would glue? Gotta be building a 3 section 13’x3’ bar 😂

1:30 Get distracted for even a second and you are just called "stumpy" from then on. Table saws are dangerous enough without putting your fingers close to them.

On the other hand, good tips for getting the lumber straightened.

Dowels work as good as biscuits fir keeping them straight?

Very helpful, as I go to glue up thick wide hard maple for a big desk top. Thank you.

Love the work here, ...but can you do a quick video on that 🐕 dog? Lol. I love how you keep sneaking the dog in at the end of the shot, was hoping to get info on the cute little thing.
